Wednesday Wanderings . . .

Do you have your favorite novel characters? Those that you remember through the years from a single story or from a series when you can't wait for the next book and you never want the series to end?

Building characters in stories is incredibly fun, exciting, intense, surprising, and (to me) personally meaningful.

Since I will tell you some of my very favorite characters in Friday's post, today I'm going to share three of my favorites from my novels.

I love "Joey Parr" from The Famous One:

The Famous One takes an introverted yet passionate character of few words and deep running emotion and puts him into the spotlight of fame where he is hungry for value, substance, and real love but struggles to find them.

I love "Grams" from Destination:

An unlikely felon returns to friendship with a fiery old widow, real love, ministry to youth, and the unusual burden for his new love’s ex-fiancé.

I love "Stone" from Then . . . you:

He's a recluse. She's seeking refuge.

In the dark early morning hours he answers his door to a woman who needs help.

He's spent years cultivating being alone.

She's spent months doing the wrong thing.

Neither of them expects what comes next.

Honestly, I love my heroes and heroines, but these three are a bit unique.

Father, apart from you, I can do nothing. That's the bottom line. Thank you for all of the characters you've given me. For that reason alone: they're special. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
